Explanation:

The principle of unity of command is violated under functional organization. When a worker or group of workers may have to receive order or orders from the line of supervisor as well as the staff specialist which may result in confusion among the workers and conflicting orders from multiple authorities may cause confusion and disturbance. Some staff personal may impose direct orders to the workers misleading them. Thus, unity of command is violated among functional organization. This type of organizational structure overcomes the disadvantages of pure line organizational structure.
